Baby Arabic Lessons
Learn the basics of arabic from here Insha Allaah (God willing.)
Okay, from this thread you'll learn some basic arabic which will help you understand the Qur'an abit more so when you read it, you can get a basic understanding of what is being recited inshaa Allaah (God willing.)
If i ever make any mistakes, or ever need any help - sister amirah_87 or Mawaddah, or any brother or sister who knows arabic can save us insha Allaah.
I only know the basics, and alhamdulillah since i've remembered some of these short techniques, i've been able to understand alot of what has been said, or atleast i've been able to get a basic understanding of what i recite. Inshaa Allaah it will be of benefit to you too.
I'm guessing you already know the basic arabic letters and their sounds inshaa Allaah, if not - the following picture will be a basic guideline. But i won't be going into depth regarding that since the aim of this is to learn just the basic aspects of the arabic language and a little grammar.

I'll copy this particular part from my old 1959 text book. This was the textbook the University of Rabat used to use to teach Arabic to English speaking Students.

..a few more suffixes
Woodrow has mentioned some already, and i'm just going to mention them again insha Allaah. So you don't need to read this if you already know them.
The main word we're using now is RaB
RaB means Lord, Cherisher, Sustainer etc. Our RaB is Allaah/God, and all the good we have is a blessing and a trial from Him.
Now if i just want to say Lord by itself, it would be: - RaB.
If i wanted to say MY RaB, it would be RaBEE
Now if i wanted to say OURRabb, it would be RaBaNaa [Naa = OUR]
This one is usually recited in duas/supplications, especially when Imaams pray/make supplication in Jamaa'ah (congregation.)
If i wanted to say YOUR Rabb, it would be RaBuK.
[the K or letter Kaaf means you (singular)]
However, RaBuKum (with a meem [M] at the end would be plural, i.e. if you were talking to alot of people you would say RaBuKum (Your (plural - to alot of people) RaB/Lord.)

Re: Baby Arabic Lessons - Learn from here Insha Allaah.
Al = The
Normally, you place "The/Al" infront of a word like you do in the english language. I.e. The morning (Al Fajr.)
But because the arabic language is a 'flowing language' - to make the sentence smoother, the Al can be changed in a small way to make the sentence and words easier to pronounce.
For example:
Al-ShaMS = Ash-ShaMS (the sun)
Al-NaJM - An-NaJM (the star)
Al-RiSaaLaH = Ar-RiSaaLaH (the letter)
Al DeeN = Ad-Deen (the religion/way of life)
So whenever it's easier to say the word without pronouncing the L (Laam) [in Al] - then you can do that, and connect it directly with the word after it.
However, at normal times you stick to the normal pattern of Al. For example;
Al Fajr [the morning], Al Maghrib [the west], Al Qiyaam (the standing) etc.
Inshaa Allaah i will use some verses from Qur'an next lesson, so try to memorise alot of the connectives and 3 root letter words which we mentioned in the earlier lessons.
